The Abstract of the Revenue, which will be found in another part of The Sun, affords just matter of congratulation to all who feel an interest in the pro sperity of their country. From this comparative view pf the National Finances for the years 1837 and 1838, it appears that in the latter year there is an increase over the former of 741,0451., and that on the Quarter ending the 10th October of the present year, there is an increase over the corresponding quarter of last year of 655,910/. This aggregate increase is composed of the follow ing items, taken in the order in which they appear in the tabular statement. The Quarter's increase in the Customs is 33,155/.; in the Excise, 388,492/. ; in the Stamps, 129,224/. ; in the Taxes, 19,953/. ; in the Miscellaneous, 5,6751. ; in the Imprest, 22,417/., in addition to which there is the revenue de rived from Crov..n Lards, amounting to 65,000/. for the half-year ending the 10th October. The branches in which there is an increase on the year are—Customs, 450,675/. ; Stamps, 174,922/. ; Post-office, 45,257/. ; Crown Lands, 130,0001.; mis cellaneous, 146/. ; Imprest, &c., 165,718/. The on'v branches in which there is a falling off on the year .I'e—the Excise, 179,4501.; and Taxes, There is also a trifling deficiency of 8,006/. in the Post-offiee revenue for the last quarter. We repeat that the state of the revenue as above de tailed is infinitely mole cheering than even the most sanguine had any reason to anticipate, when the shock which the commercial interests of the country lately sustained is taken into consideration. That this im provement in the financial state of the country will give any satisfaction to the factious carpers, who would rather at any time see their country ruined than forego their party objects, we do not suppose. Indeed we see that the most acrimonious, though by far the feeblest organ of the Tory Press, has already attempted to deceive such of the public as look into its columns, by a very disingenuous inference, drawn from the slight falling off in the Excise on the year. Grandmamma, in her usual tone of imbecile peevishness, thus expresses herself on this subject : "'There is one important fact embodied in the abstract of the revenue just published—important, in , so far as it illustrates the influence of Whig pr;neiples of government on the condition of the labouring poor. There was, last year, a marked decline in the national income derived from exciseable articles ; and this year, despite the slight im provement in other departments, there appears a further decline in the Excise returns. Our financial documents supply no other test so decisive as to the measure of the poor man's enjoyments. The result before us is quite in accordance with the genius of %Vhiggery. The march of ' Reform' has gradually and regularly lessened the labourer's comforts." Now, if this poor decrepid creature had had one grain of sense in her old noddle, she must have perceived— what any one less stupid than herself could not fail to see—that according to her own reasoning—if we must call it so—she is confuted ; for on this very branch of revenue, which is an index of the state of the labouring classes, there is on the last quarter an increase of no less than 388,492/. ! The increase on the quarter is therefore more than tw►ce as Great as the decrease on the year : hut does the Whig Go vernment get any credit for this ? Oh, no, Grand mamma cunningly kept this part of the statement out of view. In th e columns of this day will be found a full report of the proceedings at a public meeting of the Shareholders and Proprietors of the Great Western Railway held at Bristol yesterday, for the purpose of re-considering and adopting the postponed Di remora' Report presented at the general half-yearly meeting held on the 15th of August. The meetine , was well attended, and we are happy to add, the pro ceedings were conducted in a sensible and business like spirit. Most of the ruutours which had been set afloat as to extravagance in the manage ment of the Railway, appeared to have died the natural death of such inventioni,- ; for though the question of the broad gage re cr..ainAr open for further inquiry, there was no one to propose a vote of censure either upon the Engineer or the Directors for having adopted it. On the contrary, both the Directors and the Engineer arc continued, which triumphantly refutes the idea of their not enjoy ing the confidence of the great body of the Share holders. With respect to the meeting to be held at Christmas, to decide upon the merits of the broad gage, we do not consider that its appointment detracts one iota from the high reputation of Mr. BRUNEL, the able and efficient Engineer of the Company. The Shareholders have a perfect right—a decidedly deep interest, in sanctioning no proceeding—no plan t h e superior efficacy of which they entertain the shadow of a doubt ; and they are greatly to be com mended for exercising all the vigilance of which they are capable, for the purpose of having their line o f well and as cheaply as possibl e . road constructed as From all that we know and have been aide to learn upon the subject, the broad gage is a very decided im provement in the construction of Railways which are intended as the channels of a heavy traffic ; so much so, indeed, th a t several eminent foreig n engineers ate of opinion that the principle —subject, of course, to trifling modifications—is likely to be soon adopted in al l lines what soever . B u t this point will be hest de termined by time and experience the umpires to whose decision the Shareholders of the Great Western Railway have very wisely and very prudently left it. For ourselves we are happy to observe that the calumnies which, for interested purposes, have been set afloat about the Direction of this line, have ended, as t h e y desctved to end, in mere stnat—.. In our Police import o ur r , a d er , „:1 1 ind a most atrotiow cast of a y oung gill, enly is years of age, who was decoyed into a low brothel in Long-acre, and forcibly violated by some scoundrel in the disguise of a gentleman, who, the more effectually to accomplish his purpose, fastened her arms and legs to the bed-post by a leathern strap . lined with wool, with which he was furnished by the miscreant procuress ! The whole details of the case are the most revolting it is possible to conceive, and if we now refer to them, it is only in the hope that the civil authorities may be induced to take the matter up, and make it the subject of a most minute and searching investigation. From the circumstance of a leathern strap having been resorted to, in order to prevent the poor child making any effectual resistance, it is evi ' dent that the keepers of these vile sinks of debauchery have all the machinery of crime so dexterously ar ranged, that it is next to impossible that their victims should escape their clutches. How many a helpless infant—how many a simple-minded country girl— may hive been ruined by means of the same viilanous contrivance that was had recourse to 1 in the present instance I And this bare-faced atro city is committed in the very heart of London—in a district more strictly w. !shed—or supposed to be watched—by policemen, than any other ! But it may be asked, how could these men have come to a know ledge of the fact—how could they have known what was going forward in a private house in Long-acre ? We answer, it should be made part of their daily and nightly duty to keep an active, incessant watch on all such private houses, for they are the hotbeds of all sorts of crimes, and it is in them that children of both sexes are trained up to commit every species of depravity. .Is it to be endured, that the keepers of these infernal establishments shall be allowed to employ spies and agents to decoy unsuspecting Os i►►to them ; shall pursue their vocation in broad day-light, walking publicly abroad with their decoy-ducks ; and no policeman—even though he may be cognizant of the fact—dare to in terfere ? What parent—what relative—is safe, when such practises are carried on with impunity ? We constantly read in the Journals, of children being missing from their homes, and we have little or no doubt that the majority of them ate kidnapped into some such den as the.. one in Long acre. We call upon the civil authorities to sift :li. , affair to the bottom —nay more, to devise some means for puttitig a prompt and effectual atop to the whole system of brothels. The present law is clearly inope rative ; a more summon , method, therefore, must be resorted to for their extirpation. They are abomina tions that call, trumpet-tongued, for a remedy. Letters from Constantinople, of the 19th ult., an nounce preparations far the sailing of the combined fleets of England, France and Turkey for Alexan dria, with a view to facilitate the signing of a new amicable treaty between the SULTAN and the VICE ROY of Egypt. AHMED PASHA, who is said to he charged with the negociation of the new treaty, is authorised to propose a mutual disbanding of the military and naval forcca of Turkey and Egypt ; and in the event of the Vic E ROY'S agreeing to such an ar rangement, and to continuo the payment of the tribute, the SULTAN will bestow upon him the Government o f Egypt and Syria for life, and insure the succes sion to all his honours and dignities to his son, IBRAHIM PASHA, on the simple condition of ac knowledging himself the vassal of the Porte. Letters have also been received from Alexandria, dated the Bth ult., which State that MEHEMET ALI has refused to recognize the New Commercial Treaty, agreed upon by Great Britain and the Porte. The Paris Journals of Thursday have all been re ceived. They bring the answer of the Federal Direc tory of Switzerland to the note of the Duke of MoN TEBELLO, agreed to by eighteen Cantons and a half. The Cantons of St. Gall, Argau, Thurgau, and Basle Country protested against it as not being conceived in a sufficiently decided and warlike spirit : " His Excellence the Duke de Montebello, Ambassador from his Maje-ty the King of the French, having, on August 1, officially detnandel of the Federal Authorities an order for Louis Napoleon Bcnaparte to quit the Helvetic territo ries, the Avoyer and Council of State of Lucerne, the Federal Directory, have received orders from the High Dist to answer as follows : " When the Grand Councils of the Cantons were called upon to deliberate on the demand of the Duke de Monte bello, their votes were divided on the position of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, and on the question of his nationality, but not on the principle that a demand for the expulsion of a Swiss citizen is inadmissible, as being contrary to the independence of a sovereign state. Since Louis Napo leon Bonaparte has taking public steps for his removing from the soil of the Coafederation, and the Federal Direc tory has taken measures to facilitate his object, any delibe ration of the Diet becomes useless. Faithful to the feel ings which for centuries have united her to France, Sait zerland cannot hinder herself from frankly expressing the painful surprise caused her by the hostile demonstrations made against her before the Diet had been assembled to deli berate definitiself on the demands addressed to it. Swit zerland desires, as much as France can do, that complica tions of the same niiture may not recur, and that nothing may in future interrupt the harmony existing between two countries so allied in their recollections of the pest and in their interests. She indulges in the hope that she may see promptly re-established and consolidated between the French and Helvetic nations the relations of good neigh bourhood and ancient reciprocity of affection that formerly existed. " ' The Avoyer and Council of State of Lucerne, the Fe deral Directory, have the honour, &e.'" France, we presume, will see the wisdom of being satisfied with this answer. She has exhausted all her diplomatic thunder to no effect, and for her only re maining alternative the Swiss are quite prepared. But war, under such circumstances, is a game too desperate to be seriously contemplated, did not the slightness of the presumed prorociton render it, on the part of any Power having any regard for the principles of inter national law, impossi. With respect to the disputed ukase for aboli,l,;n b the Polish dress, we find the following in the Con stetutiond the Poli s h d ress, has reached us, by which we lea " Furth er informt-..ti,n respecting the ukase n i l ar t o h l i i it ib s i o ti m ng e partisans of the Emperor Nieholas hat ing mentioned subject t o him cluritig hreplied, is stay at Kreuth, he Szypoff conducts liiinse'f well. He promised me to de nation.cize Poland in ten years' time, and he is keel3ms his sv.,rd: Travellers who have recently passed through Poland confirm what we have stated as to the actual existence of the doci,ment in question." We subjoin an iliportant communication from Wal lachia, addressed to the Commerce:— " BucniliEsT (WALLACIIIA), SEPT. 18.—We have r ceived from Constantinopl, intelligence of the highest im portance. The Antbas , adors of Franc e aod England hat e spoken to the Sultan in favour of our two principalities, and represented to him the impolicy of the prorogation of our Chamber of Deputies, ordered for the mere sake of gratifying Russia, and engaged the Grand Seignor to au thorize the Chamber to ineet sgain, and proceed with its la bourn. We await with the is chest anxiety the resolution of the Divan, for if it acquiesces in the recommendatio n of the Ambassadors, the E:tstern question may assume quite a dif ferent aspect. Believe me, the Ruesians,and tluirSovereign in particular, are abhorred in Wallachia and Moldavia. An our sympathies are in favour of Eng-'and and France, and if those two Powers are seriously inclined to check the en croachments of Rus.i 1, thy find in our country a powerful co-operation. Oar population amounts to 5,000,000 of inhabitants, brave, and passionately fond of independence. W e can at a moment's notice, enter the field with an army of 25,000 well-disciplined troops, who have alruadY served in our militia, and our rich and fertile territory affords all tie means required to support even a very long war.

The following extracts from the Paris Journals in dude all the news they contain of any political mo- tnent :- " It is stated in certain political eirclev,' says the Cour rier Francais, that. the Viceroy of Egypt, while consent ing to pay the tribute due to Turkey, has also agreed to put an end to his system of monopoly, and the abuiiee at tending it, but hes reserved the question as to the right of inheritance of the Pashalie being vested in his family, mud has placed his rights under the protection of France aid England.' " In the Sentinelle des Py,.enecs we find a letter of the 4th inst. from the frontiers of Navarre, stating that Don Carlos had ordered all persons entering France to dero , :t their passports in the hands of the competent Carhst autho rities on the frontier. The Cerlist Brigadier lzarbe had entered Sanguesa on the Ist with three Navarrese batta lions, in order to seize upon a quantity of corn collected there by the Chrietinos, and which he succeeded in trans porting to Lanz and Estella. Forty of the Urban Militia, who composed the garrison, had retired into the fort, and it was feared would, if attacked, he compelled, by the info riority of their numbers, to surrender. A letter from Santander, published in the Sentinelle, states that the four battalions which had marched to that town from St. Sebas tian, had reached their destination, and afterwards marched for Espartero's head-quarters. Military executions con tinue to be the order of the day at Toledo, where we learn that four Carlists were shot on the 23d ult." " The Prussian Stale Gazelle contains a letter from Odessa of the 15th inst , remarking upon an article in the Times on the Russian establishments at the mouth of the Danube The Russian Government,' it. says, : as has ses never entertained the idea of founding a city in the island of Sulina. Nevertheless, as the whole trade of the Da nube, with the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, 1 by this point, it would be more beneficial to Turkey. Aus tria, and England, than to Russia, to establish a stetioa there, to afford supplies to their ships, which are con stantly obliged to wait for a favourable wind. This is the reason why Russia, in execution of the treaty of Adrian ople, has formed a lazaretto and victualling depot on tee island. The position chosen by the local authorities if not unhealthy, being much above the level of the river and the sea ; there are no marshes, and the inund a ti ons o f t h e Da nube never affect the point of Sulina. The Russian Go vernment grants licensee to settle in the island to such per sons only as carry on some trade or business connected with maritime commerce, and the small population now upon it is not formed of Russians, but people of other nations.' " Betesse LS, OCT. 8.-The average prices of wheat and rye, during the week ending the 6th October, were-wheat 24t. 92c., rye 13f. 52e. per hectolitre.

Mr. Conimissi. ner BOWEN—Why I see you have been twice before discharged under the Act, once in 1825. and again in 1828. The insolvent said that unfortunately he had. Mr. Commissioner BOWEN inquired of the insolvent whether he had now any interest in the Rotunda? The insolvent said that he had not the most remote interest in i!. Mr. Commiasioner Bowsm—What was your partnor, Mr. RePres? The insolvent—He was a mu,ieian. Mr. Commissioner Bovax—And he has not paid tho:7o dernaptls? The insolvent--Not that I am aware of. Mr. Commissioner BowEN, after making some inquiries relative to the will of the insolv,nt's wife's father, ord•retl him to he dischivged. Having succeeded in the benefit he desired, he madam his exit. Th , . Ri•V. John Brown Wright, the Curate of Reedharn. near Norwich, the particulars of whose case we gave when the matter was before the Court on Monday, was brought up again to-day, and ordered to be discharged. GUILDHALL.-(THIS - DA Y.) Henry Redwocd and JohnTwiyht, who were remanded yesterday, in order that further inquiries might be made as t. the state of the unfortunate persons on whose account they bad been detained, were again brought up. Certificates were produced which were not altogether of a satisfactory nature, and the prisoners were again remanded. ROMNO LODOINGII.—A woman, named Catherine Howell, was brought up under the following circumstances : Francii Cokes, a very infirm old woman, 80 years of age, deposed that the prisoner had lodged with her about a we 4 k, during which time she had contrived to strip the flora which she occupied of everything it contained, even to the fire-grate, and had broken up a table for the purpose of converting it into fuel. The prisoner stated that she had been a nurse in St. Bartholomew's Hospital, and had been persuaded by a patient to leave her situation and live with him. He had since de serted her and made away with the property. The prisoner was remanded in order to afford the ( fficers an opportunity of finding the man with whom she had been living. STEALING ♦ CHEQUE. —Joseph Wheeler was brought up chargrd with having stolen a cheque for 501. Mr. George cM•Mally, ealienter and builder, of 63, Park street, Camden Town, stated tliht on Tuesday afternoon he WAS employed in removing the goods of Mr. Blak••ston, from Be , ford-row to a house in the Regent's Pa; k. On reiching the latter place, he hung up his coat in the hall, and shortly afterwards missed it. In the cat was a pocket-hook eont fin ing a cheque for 501., drawn by Mr. Alger on Praed and Co. I t w as talent half-past four when the coat was missed. and notice of the robbery was immediately given at the Bank, in order that the cheque might be stopped. Mr. Clarke Edward Tomatin, cashier of the bank of Messrs. Praed and Co., deposed that the cheque was presented yester day morning, at the Bank, about 11 o'clock, by the prisoner, who was detained. The prisoner said the cheque was given to him by a gentle man outside the Bank to get changed, and he was prum6cd something for his trouble. Mr. Alderman LUCAS said he might produce the uentic man, if he could, but unless he did so he should commit him, as the property was !wind in his possession almost immediately after the rubbery. He was then committed. BOW-STREET.—(TaiI DAY.) Joseph Linen, aged ten years, was brought up by Sergeant Pocock of the F division, charged on suspicion with bring concerned with three others named Armstrong. Johnstone. and Taylor, at present in custody, in stealing from the shop of Mr. Vatiledeseellere ofeti. .gent street, nineteen gold seals, value 30/. It appeared that about a fortnight back, the shop of Mr. Vaule was entered by a set of juvenile thieves, who crawled under the counter between two and three o'clock, and succeeded in carrying away the property in question. The prisoner, who is well known, was the most active of the party, and on being taken into custody, he gave a wrong address. Shortly after the robbery, the property was sold for 20s , and up n t.. apolivati ,n of the constable, the prisoner ,vas ordered to bp. r mandrel. Two young thieves named Charles Healy and Henry Downs were charged by Mr. Henry Turner, jeweller, of Long Acre, with the fallowing robb, ry : Las: night, about 8 o'clock, the prisoners were observed by Constable Anderson, 104 F, loitering about the complain ant's shop, and shortly after the complainant seeing they were indulgeig their curiosity rather long at a glass-case a hich is fixed outside the shop window, containing several valuable articles, he went to the door, but before he had time to order them away, they both took to their heels, and H, aly was ob served to pass a •• Forget ma not" brooch. produced, to the other prisoner, which he threw away in his flight. Mr. TWYFORD ordered them to be sent for three mouths to 1 ' the Hoese of Correction. A you .h named John Williams was charged by S-muel Gurney, 35, Pottlabd-street, with having stolen 91 . 10., his property. lt appeared from the statement of the complainant, that he h , ,d saved the money in question without the knowledge of his Ether who is a carman, which he used to hide in a 1, atncr bag on a beam near the ceiling in the stnbie, and which he counted on pl.-Reno it there last Sunday week while the softer stood at the door. The prisoner bring in great dis tress was allowed to sleep in the stable, wnere he was locked up, and on being let out in the eiorning. he immediately dis appeared, and was not again seen until last night, when be v, as apprehended in the. Seven Diehl, in company with u set of young thieves. William Gray, who was employed to search out the pri soner, proved that shortly after the robbery was committed, the prisoner picked up with a girl, whom he treated to several of the Theatres, and ultimately retired to the country, but when his funds became low, she left him, and he was corn peiled to pawn the clothee e he had bought with the money he had stolen. The prisoner said, that the complainant made a show of the money which he had become possessed of, unknown to his f t ther, in the presence of a girl, who was a favourite of his (complainant's), but he never knew the money was concea!ed in the stable. Mr. TIVTFORD entertainel some doubts of the correctness of such an account, and ordered him to be remanded fur a week. MARYLEBON ET-(I' HI S DAY.) RUFFIANIN ASSACILT.—A baker, named Henry Edwards, was charge i with the‘ following brutal ass mit his eitiplo)er, Mr. Thomas Deane, resiflin4 to KentiNh Town. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner came home last night in a state of intoxication, and was wanting to force his way into the workshop,' where he (witness) had another man en gaged in performing the work which prisoner neglected while out drinking. In endeavouring to prevent his entrance he was knocked down twice by him, and not content with that, he bit his legs and arms in a most shocking manner. He was fined 3/ , or is derault of payment committed to Bridevreli for six weeks. Au elderly female named Louisa Dillon, was committed for 14 days to th , House of Correction for stealing some of the iron used on the woks of the Great Western Railway. A s hoemaker, James Sackville. was placed at the bar, with the following rather novel manner of p ass i ng charged base coin. He had, about a month since, borrowed is. from a brother trail swan, named Westley, and as a security, deposited some duplicates in his hands. Yesterday he came to redeem them, and banded a counterfeit sovereign to the prosecutor, who immediately returned him the duplicates. The prisoner then laughed at him and walked away. In a minute after, a girl who was sent to change tb sovereign, returned, and said it was an old brass medal gilt over. The prisoner was remanded.

Although forty-one years have elapsed since this memor able battle was fought and won by Admiral Duncan with the Dutch fl , . et. commanded by De Wino r, a short detail of a victory so sf ,lendid in its results cannot fail to he inte resting to those of our readers who delight in tracing . the naval triumphs of their c oun t ry . B ut a few months pronous to this engagement the attention of the English natiiin had been engrossed by the alarming mutiny which had broken out at the Nore, and had rxtendt-d throughout the North Sea fleet; this victory, therefore, so shortly after it was sub dued, was double gratifying, by proving that British scan -en, after their grievances had been redressed, fought with the most, loyal and heroic zeal for their Rieg and, country. At nine o'clock on the morning of the 11th of October, of which this day is the 41st annivrrsary, a signal a as made by Cap tain Trollope, commanding the Russell, 74. that the enemy were to leeward. The Admiral immediately bore up and made the signal for a general chase, and soon got. a sight of them forming on the larboard tack. " Finding," says the Ad miral in hie despatch, " there was no Core to be lost in marking the attack, I made the signal to bear up, break the enemy's line, and engage them to leeward, each ship her opponent, by which I got between them and the land, whither they were fast approaching. My signals were obeyed with promptitude ; and Onslow, in the Monarch, bore down on the enemy's rear in the most gallant manner, his division followiug his ezi.mple, and the action commenced about 40 minutes past twelve. The Venerable (the Admiral's own ship) soon got through the enemy's line and began a close action, with my division on their van, which lasted two hours and a half." The result was that of 15 sail of the line and 11 frigates and smaller vessels, of which the Dutch fleet consisted, 9 of the liar and two frigates were taken, including the Cornman der-in-Chief (De Winter) and the Vice-Admiral. The English fleet consisted of 14. sail of the liue , one frigate, and tnree or four cutters. For this action, which as fought regardless of a lee shore (the terror and dread of Commanders of former days) and eminently brilliant ter the courage displayed, and so advantageous in its effects and consequences, the votes of both Houses of Parliament were readily conferred, the Commawlers were presented ' with gold medals, Vice-Admiral Onslow was created a Baronet, ana the Captains Trollope and Fairfax, Knights Bannerets, whilst Admiral Duncan himself was created a Viscount, with a pension of 3,0001. a year. His son, the present Peer, was raised to the dignity of Earl of Camper doa n by his late Majesty William IV. The number of killed and wounded in this sanguita.ry battle was hear 800 men. C ptain Burges s , o f t h e Ardent, fell early in the action, to whose memory a handsome monument has been erected in St. Paul's Cathedral. But flirt e survive this day, who commanded ships on that memorable occasion—viz., Ad mirals Sir Henry Trollope, G.C.8.. Sir Jo :n Wells, G.C.B , and Sir William Hotham, K.C.B. The ships, too, like their brave Commanders, bay,. f Alen into " the sear and yellow leaf." The old Venerable, in which Duncan per formed such prodigi sof valour ou this' immortal day, and subsequently by other brave Commanders, was. about a month since, lowed from Chatham to Piymouth for break ing up! As some individuals were out hunting vermin the other day, they discovered the nest of a foul wart which con• tallied several young.
